You read right - Zeffy's fundraising platform is completely free

Zeffy is the only fundraising platform for nonprofits that is 100% free. With Zeffy, you receive every dollar your donors pledge.

Zeffy relies entirely on voluntary contributions from donors

What is a voluntary contribution?

At the payment confirmation step, donors have the option (but are never obliged) to contribute to Zeffy. This is our only source of revenue and allows us to cover all of the fees for the 10,000+ nonprofits that fundraise with Zeffy.

Every cent donated to you through Zeffy goes directly to your bank account.

Zeffy is the first and only 100% free fundraising platform
